Family Reading Time

Set aside 1-0-15 minutes each evening for the entire family to relax
and read books, magazines, or newspapers. Make sure the television is off.

Simple Beats

Have the children do simple beats on an homemade
 oatmeal drum. Have them repeat beats.

Turkey Farm

Visit a turkey farm if one is nearby.

Pilgrims & Indians Food

Have each child bring in various nuts, seeds and corn to pop and blend these together,
 teaching the children that these are some of the items the Pilgrims & Indians enjoyed.

Thanksgiving Cookbook

This activity is more than worth it's time in laughs. I have done it two years in a row
 and everyone laughs. Take the children aside one by one and ask them,
 "What is your favorite Thanksgiving food?" Then ask them "How do you make that?"
 Write down word for word their responses. You may find it helpful to video tape the
 responses so you can get it all down. Then compile all of the responses in your
 classroom recipe book. You may make copies for the parents to take home
 or make one copy so that the parents may enjoy it. If you do the video, you
 may want to just show the video at a Thanksgiving party for the parents.
